Mighty People Lyrics

Freetown Collective and Sheriff
Marcus Garvey:
“No race has the last word in culture and on civilization. They do not know what we are capable of. They do not know what we are thinking. Because my work has only just begun.”

Up you mighty people
Up you mighty people
Up you mighty
Up you mighty
Up you mighty people (feel it down in yuh soul)
Up you mighty people
Up you mighty people (til you cyah control)
Up you mighty people
